1995 Lincoln Town Car Cartier Edition, 168,680 miles, V8 engine runs strong. Quiet and super smooth ride on new Michelin tires ($500 value). Power everything.
This car was donated to a non-profit organization, so I'm afraid I don't know all the details of its history, but feel free to ask and I'll do my best. It's registered through June 2013 in California - and I believe it's always been a California car (San Jose area so great weather, no salt). I drove it about 90 miles to get it here to Davis, mostly on the freeway and found it extremely comfortable, quiet, powerful, and with a great sound system.
The air suspension makes a soft rumble for 30 seconds when you first start the engine, then silent and cushy after that - I assume that's normal. The air pump/compressor was replaced at some point. The body is very straight with just minor issues here and there if you look closely, with the largest scratches on the front bumper (see picture). The paint needs polishing compound, is oxidized in places, especially on the roof.
Interior is in great shape overall, especially the dash and the back seat which appears to be unused. Trunk is incredibly clean.
All the main electrical bells and whistles work making for a luxurious ride, windows, door locks, mirrors, interior lights, dash lights and controls, radio, cassette, 10 CD changer in trunk.
Known issues:
There is a roughly 0.3 amp drain on the battery so the owner installed a battery switch on it making it easy to disconnect if you're not going to drive it daily. I'm no expert on these matters, but the other quirk which may be related is that the radio stays on when you turn off the ignition and pull the key out. Since the ignition is not supposed to power the radio when the key's out, my guess is that it's also powering some other things in the same position which it shouldn't be doing - so maybe just a new ignition switch will take care of it? The dash clock sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
The seat heaters apparently aren't working. Also the cruise control doesn't seem to come on, although I'm not certain that I'm turning it on correctly - just using the buttons on the steering wheel?
The climate control appears to work and can be controlled from the steering wheel, however, it's not clear if the A/C is blowing cold or not ... it's been to cold here to tell! If the compressor isn't engaging, it may just need some freon to get it up to pressure and working again.
The overhead is drooping in places and the driver's visor has some tears in it - needs a new cover.

2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost
Tue, 13 Nov 2012A Bench-Warmer In Waiting
I hail from Cleveland, and that means I'm familiar with sports franchises that are always falling short of championships. The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs - they've all come close, but being a resident of C-Town means learning to appreciate the effort more than a reward that never seems to come. So I can appreciate the situation in which Lincoln finds itself today, one where the past is full of repeated attempts to be competitive, and looming on the future's horizon is the next hope on which everything hinges.
That next hope for Lincoln is not the car you see here, but rather the smaller, all-new 2013 MKZ sedan. Like LeBron James entering Gund Arena for the first time, the MKZ will enter dealerships this fall as the brand's chosen savior, markedly more stylish, advanced and desirable than anything offered by Lincoln in recent memory. And that would make this car, the 2013 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost, one of the other 20 guys whose names I can't remember who played alongside LeBron during his rookie season.
Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
